5 star Review All I Am: Drew's Story (This Man #3.5) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Although an extremely quick read, I must say it was great to be back in the This Man arena. Throw in the fact that Jesse and Ava along with Sam make an appearance and I felt like I was coming home.

Loved this book from start t finish, and if you are a fan of the This Man series, you will love it too. My only disappointment was that it was not longer, I just wanted to immerse myself in this world and sadly as this is a novella, it was over too fast for me.

As was to be expected when Jesse makes an appearance there is laughter, tension, hilarious banter between the men as well as Jesse and Ave; who would have thought that a daughter would bring Jesse to his knees.

Drew too has a daughter and having this in common with Jesse is a good thing, although at times it felt as though is was the blind leading the blind. I really liked Drew and Raya, you could feel the chemistry between these two no matter how hard they fought it initially.

At times this felt like a roller-coaster with tension and miss communicating abounding, however after an emotional confrontation Drew and Ava, got their happily ever after which they so deserved.

Hopefully this is not the last we here from the This Man world. I received an ARC through the publisher via Netgalley.

My love for Jodi Ellen Maplas continues.

From the moment this book was announced I have been on high alert. A book about Drew, Jesse's (Lord of the Manor from This Man Series) mate. I knew I wanted to know more and yes, I was hoping to get a peak back into Jesse and Ava's life years later! Jodi Ellen Malpas has given us this sneak peak and a great novella about Drew.

The interactions between Sam, Jesse and Drew were AH-MAZ-ING...but I digress, this novella was about Drew...

Drew than man who admitted likes

"Sex of the filthy kind"

has a new haunt, Hux, since Jesse has "moved one" from being the owner of The Manor.

You remember Drew, Jesse's friend. the one who was taken advantage of by Coral, the biatch who tried to end Jesse and Ava's relationship. What Drew did get from that night was a sweet, adorable, loving and life inspiring Georgia. Georgia is his life now! This little girl (and the interactions with her father) were so sweet!!

"Dad's favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast. I'm Belle"..."And Dad is my beast."

The meeting between Drew and Raya was a set up of sorts - she's looking for

"Cold, emotionless and filthy"

Drew is just the man for the "job". However, Raya has a secret, as does Drew and once they get together - holy crap it's fantastic and fun and sexy and HOT!.

"Jesus Christ, this woman could be my downfall. Could make me forget who I am. All I am."

This novella was perfection. We see Sam, Kate, Jesse, Ava and of course Drew and Raya. A little peak of that frustrating Coral and of course the sweet and loving Georgia!

You will love every second of this novella - only wishing there was more! When it comes to some book series, I swear I could read about them forever!

Oh.My.Lord!

Ok, so when I saw Drew was getting a story I was so freakin excited, and I will be honest, it wasn't just for Drew, I wanted THE LORD! Even if just in the background, I miss Jesse!
And let me tell you, Central Jesse Cloud Nine was achieved!

But as I turned the pages, I fell more and more in love with Drew! I am not sure why I am surprised by that, Jodi is freakin amazing and her men (and women for that matter) always dig their way into your heart.

Drew . . . . *sigh*
Where do I even start? This man is pretty much perfect.
He is a devoted and adoring father. He's entire world revolves around his little girl, Georgia, and boy, does she have her daddy wrapped around her little finger.
But when he has his free time, he is like a light switch, he becomes the confident, sexy, dominating man we expect to see.

The chemistry between Drew and Raya leaps off the pages from the second their eyes meet and only gets more intense as the pages turn.

Drew is convinced he will never settle down, he doesn't trust women after what Coral did to him, who can blame him. After The Manor shuts it's doors forever, he finds a new home at HUX.

Raya is going through a really bad patch in her life, and she doesn't quite know what to do with herself. All she know's is she wants to Forget everything that is dragging her heart down. She wants cold, emotionless, dominating. She got Drew. Which turns out to be the opposite of what she asked for, but exactly what they both need.

Argh! A novella . . . Why Jodi, WHY?!
Because this is pretty short, I am going to stop here, I don't want to go into too many details and spoil everything.
I really loved this story, I could have happily read more of Drew and Raya and of course, Jesse and Sam! Talk about a PMSL at these two giving Drew "love advice".

Is this as hot as Jesse? Umm. . . . You know Jesse, right? Of course it's not as hot, but it's still panty melting.

Get ready to laugh, cry, grab a vibe, and fall in love, not necessarily in that order ;)

"She is cryptic. She is temptation personified."

"Reaching for her face, I trace the line of her cheekbone, he gaze sweeping into mine. My world stills, like those moments of frozen time when you can see with perfect clarity every tiny thing before you. When you can appreciate its beauty and marvel at the details."

Boy, oh boy was it a lot of fun to be back in this world again. It's been quite some time since I've read the This Man Trilogy, but picking up this book was like coming home. As soon as I started reading, I was hooked and dying for more. Drew's story was sexy and exciting and surprising in many ways. It captivated me and intrigued me. And I don't know about you guys, but there is nothing better than seeing an alpha male fall in love...

All I Am was a quick read for me and even though it was a novella, it certainly packed a punch. It gave me everything I wanted plus a few a cameos from some old friends. Overall, a terrific read. Fans of the This Man Series, I think you're going to really enjoy this one.

When Jodi Ellen Malpas first announced that we would be getting Drew's story I screamed. When this book landed on my kindle I may have wept a tear or two from absolute joy.

This novella doesn't disappoint not one bit I absolutely loved it. It was simply everything I expected. Of course the appearance of The Lord made me all excited and I couldn't contain myself because hello it was like being back on Central Jesse Cloud Nine.

But Drew OMFG Drew !!! I loved him absolutely loved him. Dominant sexy as hell and man I felt every emotion coming out of this book. From Off the charts chemistry to falling madly in love with this story.

Drew's really had two personas in this the hot dominant man in the bedroom that made your panties melt and then the doting father that absolutely made your heart flutter.

There were so many great moments. From parts that had me in hysterics. Think of Jesse and Sam giving advice to Drew. Parts that had me fanning myself and moments where I swooned and I swooned hard.

This Novella is one that you will devour without stopping and you will no doubt fall in love with Drew
